Beschrijving boek
Sailing is, today, one of the most popular leisure pastimes. Whether it is enjoyed as a competitive sport, as recreation, as a social activity or as an escape from the noise and turmoil of everyday life, sailing is growing rapidly in popularity, and sailing clubs and organizations are on the increase. ‘The World of Sailing’ is primarily directed at the novice small-boat sailor but is of infinite value to the expert as well. This one-volume, highly readable ‘manual’ covers all the basic information needed to sail a small sailboat effectively and efficiently. Sailing theory, rigging, types of craft, safety measures, maneuvering and so on are discussed in detail. Relevant drawings and more than 200 illustrations and photographs have been specially commissioned to explain and define the more difficult technical terms, maneuvres, knots, riggings and the like.
‘The World of Sailing’ makes the complexities of sailing easy to understand and directions easy to follow. It is an entertaining comprehensive guidebook of the “Do’s and Don’ts” of sailing.
Over 200 illustrations including 85 in colour.
